Oops. I hate when I open up my computer and find last night’s post never published. I’d say the change in me is that I’m getting old and forgetful, but I’m pretty sure I’ve been forgetful for longer than I’ve been old! Oh, well, better late than never, right?
I visited the imagination prompt again today, and it suggested I write about how I’ve changed recently, so I’m giving that some thought.
First, as I’ve discussed, I’ve got some physiological changes going on that have also reached out to create some changes mentally and emotionally, but I’m not sure that’s what the prompt was talking about. And, I’m hoping those changes are temporary!
And, while I think I’ve gained some wisdom and compassion over the years, I like to believe that’s mostly been an increase in characteristics I already possessed.
But one thing I do notice has changed as I’ve gotten older—and not for the better—is my patience level. I find that with each passing year, I become more easily aggravated with any number of things. So far, my behavior hasn’t changed much in relation to my increased aggravation/impatience, so I find that that I’m a little more stressed from having that increased aggravation inside, which is kind of a bummer.
Anyway, I know that I don’t want to become some sort of cranky old woman as the years go by, so I guess I’m going to have to really start paying attention to this now, and trying to figure out how to regain some of my earlier abilities to simply let things slide.
